Packing lunches every day can be such a hassle but having a convenient list of store bought vegan kid snacks can make all the difference! Not only are these convenient but they are relatively healthy too!
Of course, “healthy” can be a catch all term and refer to a lot of things but this list mainly includes less processed, vegan, and organic snacks that come in pouches that can be chucked into your kids’ lunches. Think of snacks that are healthier than Cheetos but not homegrown produce from your garden. This list will include vegan snack options that are right in the middle!
Another disclaimer is that although it is great to prioritize zero waste kids’ lunches, sometimes that is not an accessible option for everyone which is where store bought vegan snacks come in!
It can really be a struggle to choose ethical food options when there is so much to consider: locally sourced, organic, vegan, zero waste etc. Truly it is impossible to cover every single category so give yourself some grace and do your best to nourish yourself and your family!
This post is all about the best store bought vegan kid snacks.
The Best Store Bought Vegan Kid Snacks
Gogo Squeeze Applesauce
These little pouches are helpful so that your kitchen spoons don’t get accidentally thrown away at school lunch!
Seaweed
Seaweed has gotten more and more popular in American school lunches in recent years which is great because it contains lots of vitamins and minerals!
Pre Cut Fruits and Veggies
I can pretty much guarantee that your local grocery store has pre-cut fruit and veggies that can easily be thrown into a reusable container and brought to school! If you are really short on time but want to ensure your kids have a well rounded plant based lunch this is a great option!

Mary’s Gone Crackers and Hummus
These are SO yummy! To be honest, I have never seen kids eat these and the amount of seeds in them might be intimidating but including a pack of hummus (or their other favorite dip!) could make all the difference and encourage them to try a different looking cracker!
Hippeas
Think Cheetos but a healthier version. These cheesy snacks are completely vegan and are made from chickpeas! They definitely don’t taste like normal Cheetos but they are really tasty!
Stretch Island Fruit Leather
These are like the healthier version of fruit roll-ups!
Simple Mills Crackers
Just some simple crackers that can pair nicely with nut butter if your child’s school isn’t nut free!
Boom Chicka Pop Popcorn
You can never go wrong with popcorn and luckily these are pre popped!

Beyond Meat Jerky
I have yet to try these but I LOVE the other Beyond Meat products so I am sure these are good too! Sometimes having a lunch that is a bit different from their friends can be a bummer (i.e. no meat) so having a substitute like this could be helpful.
Organic Dried Mango
Again, if you are trying to introduce your kids to new foods they might not be used to, having these dried mango slices are a great option! Just a bit sweet but packed with nutrients!
Yum Earth Organic Fruit Snacks
Sometimes fruit snacks have so many random gums and additives but these are organic and really yummy!

Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars
These bars are actually so good and can be an easy way to introduce your kids to a less popular fruit!

These bars come in so many fun flavors which can spruce up a lunch box and day for your little!
